Seahawks hire Dan Quinn to replace Gus Bradley

After Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was hired as the new head coach of the Jaguars, the Seahawks moved quickly to replace him.

The Seahawks have announced that Dan Quinn is their new defensive coordinator.

Quinn was the defensive coordinator at Florida for the last two years and had coached the defensive line in Seattle for two years before that. He’s also been a defensive line coach with the Jets, Dolphins and 49ers.

Quinn is well regarded in NFL circles and was mentioned as a candidate to become the defensive coordinator of the Browns, Eagles or Jaguars as well.

Based on his Florida Defense in the Orange Bowl – EVeryone on Seattle’s 2013 schedule applauds this move.

BTW – Where did all the Seahawk fans go?

We are still here and ready for next season. No depressing offseason or wallowing over our final game. We had an awesome season and are ready to watch Wilson and the rest of the draft class make the leap to year 2 in the NFL.

I really like the move because we have one of the strongest defensive line’s in NFL but there is room for improvement. Lets just hope with games on the line he can be more aggressive than Gus. There were 4 games where the defensive schemes in close ones lost the games for Hawks. They gotta sign Allan Branch back as well. Him and Mebane are a strong pair inside.

Sounds like they had Quinn on speed dial. Great pickup though. Seahawks largest flaw is an inconistent pass rush. Hiring Quinn, who was our old D-Line coach, makes perfect sense. He was the one who suggested moving big Red Bryant over as a DE. Go Hawks!
